Red Falcon vs. StarShip

We like the fact that we are able to offer our customers a professional online presence so that we can compete with the big box stores and the Amazon's of the Office Supply world. I like being able to log into the back office to see our respective pricing from both SP Richards and Essendant.

The support was not up to standards and they did not handle updates well. They did improve somewhat however it still lacks a sense of individualized attention. There were many issues getting the weights from the scales, so much so that we had to use our ERP system to get the weight and then map it into StarShip.

I feel there is a lot of clicking around to get what you need.

While it handles hazmat the overall package feels clunky and the support system could use some more attention. I can't say if they have fixed the scale reading issues, since we stopped using that feature. The endpoints have to be updated frequently and the service mode for the endpoints has it challenges

Support is great at taking care of our questions and issues.

The instructors were patient and kind but the overall implementation seemed cumbersome and lengthy.

We did a quick review of other companies but went with Red Falcon as we knew someone else who used and was happy with their service offerings Red Falcon does seem to be expensive but it was a little hard to compare as we did not compare all the specific pricing for other competitors Again, we mainly went with Red Falcon through word of mouth

We selected StarShip because both ShipHawk and Acumatica did not offer hazmat shipping at that time. The only thing that made us choose StarShip was hazmat handling so there was nothing to compare it against.

• Red Falcon's integration with e-auto is a tremendous time and money saver on the admin side of things!
• The overall cost of Red Falcon is a bit pricey so the ROI really depends on how much e-commerce business that can be ran thru it.

Incentivized

• we are able to ship hazmat
• a lot of down time in the beginning
• scale and weights issues
